Here too there is just enough wood to notice on the agreeably layered nose that features notes of apple, pear and a touch of exotic fruit. There is an undercurrent of minerality that adds lift to the delicious, round and supple medium weight flavors that possess good punch and detail on the dry and clean finish that again offers good persistence if only moderate depth.

A deft application of wood sets off notes of green apple, lemon zest, floral and spice hints. There is good punch and intensity to the plump and supple middle weight flavors that possess good persistence if only average complexity on the dry, balanced and easy-to-like finish. This should also drink well right away.

Offers a burst of fresh, juicy raspberry, vanilla and spice flavors. Drink now. 350 cases made. –TF

Fresh and snappy, displaying moderate weight and deptgh, with zesty strawberry and watermelon flavors, followed by a light finish.

Rich and ripe, this wine has orange, mango, apricot and vanilla flavors, accented by bright acidity. It offers immediate appeal to fans of the oak-driven Chardonnay style.

An intensely earthy nose blends together very fresh aromas of both red and dark berry fruit with hints of underbrush and forest floor. There is good volume to the generous, round and very fleshy middle weight flavors that possess very good depth and excellent length on the balanced finish. This is lovely.

Outstanding Top Value. An exceptionally pretty nose blends floral nuances with red currant and ripe cassis aromas. There is a discreet hint of minerality to the detailed, textured and solidly well-concentrated flavors that possess good complexity on the ever-so-slightly rustic finish that displays fine focus and persistence. This is really quite good for what it is and worth your consideration.

This is also exceptionally fresh, cool and pure with an expressive nose of primarily red berry fruit and discreet notes of kirsch front running the lush and fleshy middle weight flavors that possess good verve and a subtle touch of minerality on the delicious finish. This should be almost immediately accessible yet reward a few years of cellar time too if desired.

Outstanding Top Value. A fresh, cool and ripe nose of red berries that is liberally laced with hints of earth and floral nuances leads to attractively rich, round and delicious flavors that possess an appealing texture on the delicious, serious and detailed finish. This is really very good for what it is and worth considering.

Crisp, with spiced pear and apple notes that are juicy and smooth, with a squirt of citrusy acidity on the finish.
